JavaScript

JavaScript was originally developed by Netscape and is one of the most simple, effective and versatile languages. Also, it is a scripting language commonly used in web development, and in many other environments as well. Even more, JavaScript is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

On the other hand, JavaScript can function as a procedural, as well as an object oriented language, and is often used alongside HTML, CSS and AJAX. JavaScript's syntax is based on ECMAScript and is similar to Java and C, making the language more accessible and easy to learn for developers.

One of the main functions of JavaScript is the ability to interact with HTML source code and add dynamic content on the website. Some of the JavaScript's dynamic capabilities are: dynamic script creation, object introspection, runtime object construction and source code recovery.
